SOCIALISM is defined as a political-economic philosophy that seeks a cooperative society in which the means of production and distribution are owned by the central government or collectively by the people sometimes referred to as Collectivism.

The Socialists take from the Rich and give to the Poor until Everyone is Equally Poor and the Elites strive to become the Masters of our Universe. The Elites are usually very charismatic and successfully influence the masses by giving good speeches. They seduce our children into believing there is no God, that there is no right or wrong, and that everything is grey.

In 2008 President Obama was elected and we experienced a dramatic swing to the Left. In his first two years in office, Obama moved the country further to the Left than Roosevelt was able to do in his twelve years in office. Obama’s subsequent reelection in 2012 allows this Socialist Democrat to continue his push toward Socialism on his quest to “fundamentally change America.”.

“Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy. Its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery…!”

Winston Churchill

“A government big enough to give you everything you want, is big enough to take away everything you have.”

Thomas Jefferson

“In the current economic crisis, government is not the solution to the problem; government is the problem!”

Ronald Reagan

CAPITALISM is an economic system based on competition and free will. Production and distribution are privately or corporately owned. You do the best you can, work hard and earn money, save your money and reinvest your profits or discretionary income and gain wealth in a free market.

We, as a nation, have plenty of natural resources but the environmentalists and Socialists have confiscated the country’s land. We, the people, have allowed Liberals to take the nation’s land from us. These lands are full of natural resources we could utilize to better our families. If we could free up our own resources our deficit would plummet, and we would no longer need to borrow from China to pay an energy bill. We owe money to the people in the Middle East who hate us.

We need to be more like the Free-soil Party in the 1800s. The Free-soil Party was especially outspoken in demanding the distribution Federal lands. They saw land distribution as a way of stopping slavery from spreading into the new territories. In 1860, the party of Abraham Lincoln, the Republican Party, adopted this as its platform. Southern states opposed giving free land to future farmers because of its implications regarding the future of slavery. For the most part, northern farmers were opposed to slavery while southern plantation owners were in favor of the “status quo ante bellum.” The southern states wanted slavery and the northern states wanted to add territories that were free. It was a battle to populate large areas of land with future voters who would vote for or against slavery

A few notations about the Death Toll under Socialism and Fascism in world history…

In a newly published biography of Mao Zedong by Jung Chang and Jon Halliday, the estimated totality of death is described as: “at least 3 million people died violent deaths and post-Mao leaders acknowledged that 100 million people, one-ninth of the entire population, suffered in one way or another.”

Interestingly, the reporter of a Hong Kong-based political journal released the classified official statistics, according to which nearly two million Chinese were killed and another 125 million were either persecuted or “struggled against”(subjected to “struggle sessions”) as a result of the state-sponsored killings and atrocities committed during the Cultural Revolution.
